Since its inception in 2009, the Mini Expo has become one of our clubs most successful events. Whether you are an experienced, novice or wannabe fly fisherman, we invite you to this yearly event that showcases the talents and expertise of our club members.

There will be a booth explaining some of the educational opportunities that our club makes available to the novice on through the more experienced fly fisherman. Also on hand will be Mike Arnold, explaining the fishing opportunities available at Damon 7 Lakes and Guide Kevin Hutchison, Hill Country Flyfishers, who will be tying flies and explaining where to use them on the Central Texas Rivers.

There will be activities both inside and outside throughout the day. Starting off the day outside will be Capt. Steve Soule, Jeff Ferguson, MCI and Andy Payne CCI, who will be demonstrating casting techniques for saltwater and freshwater fishing. Also, outside will be Clay Sheward, demonstrating the “Do’s and Don’ts of Fishing from a Poling Skiff” and Don Puckett doing Casting Games.

Beginner’s fly tying table. The Texas FlyFishers membership has a wealth of fly tying talent they are eager to share with you. Tying your own flies adds a whole new dimension to your fly fishing experience.

Steven, a final decision has not been made with regard to rescheduling, cancelling or holding the event as scheduled. Keep and eye on the web site. If the event is cancelled or rescheduled that information will be posted on the club web site. Thanks, Jim R.

Event has been cancelled. Fill all vehicles with gas, get four day supply of water and stay home. The flooding will cause more damage than the wind. Puck, Mary Kay and others in Power will be sending out notices soon.
